Form 23 Request #:2025-WRCB-002 Fume Hood Repair

The project involves the repair of a fume hood located at the California Tower, Building #330, 3737 Main Street, Riverside, CA 92501, under a state-level authorization known as Form 23 Request #2025-WRCB-002. The work is classified as minor capital outlay with an estimated cost of $9,999 and must remain under the statutory threshold of $461,000 to avoid additional oversight requirements. The project scope is strictly limited to component-level repairs of the existing fume hood without any modifications to ventilation performance, new electrical conduit, breakers, or conductors. All work must comply with the latest editions of the California Building, Electrical, Energy (Title 24), and Mechanical Codes, as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act, and require approvals from multiple regulatory authorities including the State Fire Marshal, Division of the State Architect, California Department of Public Health, and the Office of Historic Preservation if applicable. CEQA compliance must be processed through the Department of General Services’ Environmental Services Section, and prevailing wages must be paid in accordance with California Labor Code Sections 1774–1775. The Department of General Services, through its Construction Inspection and Management Branch, retains full authority for inspections, acceptance, and oversight, and must be notified at least 45 days prior to any pre-construction meeting. No construction may begin without prior DGS involvement, and failure to comply may result in suspension of future project approvals. All deliverables, including stamped plans, as-built drawings, and executed change orders, must be submitted to DGS in PDF format upon completion. Any changes to the original scope require formal notification and approval from DGS, and failure to obtain such approval may invalidate authorization. Ownership of all installed improvements, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and finish materials, transfers to DGS upon installation, and DGS maintains permanent access rights for maintenance and inspection. Invoices must be processed through the State Controller’s Office, and the requesting agency is responsible for all regulatory fees, contractor-related damages, and compliance with Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise participation policies. The project is administered under a non-competitive, procedural authorization model with no formal evaluation factors, competitive bidding, or contract line item structure, and is supported by the State Water Resources Control Board as the requesting agency with DGS serving as the administrative contracting authority.
